Just outstanding Stixx and you are right about Da being mad because he couldn't get one as good. I think steadiness is on the side of the youth. Nice trigger finger and great capture. This should do very well.

Wow ... amazing capture & the detail is magnificent. You did an excellent job & I believe "Da" is probably more proud of you than being mad. Very well done Stixx.

This is a real wowzer. That's a good thing. I wish I could get a close up like that of a dragonfly. Better tell gramps to keep practicing. He'll get it mastered soon. You have done an excellent job, and I bet it gets the attention of the cows, too.

Your narrative made me smile Stixx. On the one hand it's wonderful for a grandad to see a grandson making such wonderful pictures like you did, but on the other hand it makes a granddad a little sad to realise that his best time has gone, lol. I'm talking with some experience as I'm a (proud) granddad too.
Great post my friend. Very well done!!!

Great job on this flying dragon. Even with a tripod, you have to have a delicate touch to be able to get such a clean pic.

Super clear with great composition.

This is a very good close up of the dragonfly! I know how hard they are to catch with a camera, you did an excellent job!

Yes I've tried this too Braxx and had the same problem as Da. This is great - lots of detail and no hint of blur. Even with a tripod it's not easy to get these guys. I reckon photography must be in your genes!

Fabulous shot, Brax! Keep up the good work. Soon you'll be able to tell Da how to use that camera!

Brax, you are most promising artist and Da must be very proud in fact. Needless to say even greatest artists can do with a little bit of good luck and you seem to be gifted also in this respect !!!!
